Hey I’m Arin.

I thought I'd just get a regular software job in college. Even though my first app flopped hard, I fell in love with building.maybe everything i build now is chasing that creator high

I'm 22 now. I love inspiring people and building communities that help them build something of their own.

Right now I'm working on CalcQuest. A brain puzzle that somehow caught fire and grew to over 25,000 users across 150+ countries. It's out on both the App Store and the Play Store, and I also raised a 1 lakh grant from my college incubation center to back it.

I get crazy dopamine when I randomly see somebody using something I made.

Previously, I worked as a Flutter engineer at IYC building nationwide campaign tools from scratch, and at Celebrare, where I helped scale an app past 1M+ downloads.

I've also built ScanNRead for document scanning, ScenicScreen for wallpapers, and UPES GO to fix hostel chaos for hundreds of students on campus but failed miserably due to college's "privacy" concerns.

I've done some other fun stuff like this web editor and this health model.

Gone pretty active on linkedin, instagram, and X

I like to write online and share my goals publicly too

But I make a lot of mistakes along the way. I usually write to reflect on them and share what I learn.

Not like a thoughtful leader, more from a 'here's how i fked up and how i unfked it' type of way.
